If you're like us, you know the benefits of silk sheets—and may own a silk eye mask or pillowcase—but have yet to take the full plunge. Prepare to say, "see ya," to stubborn crease marks and unpleasant rest, and get the more-breathable night's sleep you deserve—shoutout to our fellow hot sleepers!—all while benefiting your overall health and beauty. Stacked thin layers make silk sheets extra smooth, and don’t forget their hypoallergenic benefits. According to Women's Health, silk sheets repel dust mites, aiding asthma and allergy relief. Perfect for year-round use, silk sheets regulate body temperature, keeping us warm in cold months and cool when it's hot.

But where to begin when starting your silk sheet search? It’s important to note the difference between silk versus satin. The largest difference being silk is a natural fiber, and satin is a weave created from silk or other materials. Next, according to silk manufacturer Mulberry Park Silks, mulberry silk is thought to be the highest quality silk available because its silk fibers are longer and more uniform, making it ultra smooth and durable. Another thing to keep in mind while shopping for silk sheets is understanding how silk fabric weight is measured. In place of thread count, momme (mm) is used. According to Overstock's guide on selecting silk sheets, a good rule of thumb is: The higher the momme, the better the silk quality—and, of course, the heftier the price tag.

Thanks to their hair and skin care benefits, you can also prioritize better beauty sleep by making the switch to silk or satin. The sumptuous bedding prevents hair from getting frizzy and tangled overnight, while also reducing face wrinkles from hours spent in bed. Silk sheets' smooth texture also maintains styled hair for longer. And, according to the Good Housekeeping Institute, unlike most bedding materials, silk doesn't draw moisture from your body, so your skin and hair stay more hydrated, retaining their natural oils and keeping any applied lotions and serums put.
